I just broke my clutch release fork for the second time. While I've got the trany out I'd like to change my stage 1 clutch master in preperation for the single. I'm considering various ACT and Clutch Master setups. Anyone have any opinions? I would like to be able to support 450rwhp.

ACT:
ZX3-XTOO street and strip disk with the extreme plate
ZX3-XTR4 four puck with the extreme plate
ZX3-XTR6 six puck with the extreme plate

Is the disk in the ZX3-XT00 kit a stock mazda disk?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of four and six puck disks?

Clutch Master:

HDC stage 3 metalic/organic
HDTZ stage 3 kevlar?
HDCB stage 4
HDB4 stage 5

I'm not as familar with the Clutch Master line. I am most likely leaning towards the stage 4. Anyone else running one?

 

os geiken twin plate is what i am running. it is very drivable.

 

The Extreme street/strip does use the OEM Mazda (Dalkin) clutch disk. It does well on the street in my car (340rwhp) but suffers a bit at the strip, especially if you slip the clutch even a bit on launch.

I'd consider running the extreme pressure plate with one of the Clutchmaster disks. Depending on how serious you'd like to go, I'd do the stage 4 which still has a sprung hub to preserve your tranny/differential. In the not-too-distant future, I'd like to go with the stage III disk although I'm not into swapping out the clutch for the third time in less than a year (toasted an ACT HD clutch package).

What does the OS Gilken run Sokudo? Isn't it around $1500 or so?
